Ordinary Milk vs Organic Milk?

I believe some of you may think that there isn’t much difference between ordinary and organic milk, based on what I know, there certainly is. In fact the milk that your child drinks affects his health!

Well, ordinary milk and organic milk are both come from cows, except for the following points which help to differentiate them:

Ordinary Milk

Usually comes from cows that:

• Are routinely injected with antibiotics. (For info, antibiotic residues in milk are not good as it contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance among bacteria, which means the antibiotic in the body that used to be effective in fighting bacteria may not be that effective anymore).
• Are fed with non-organic cattle feed.
• Are commonly injected with rBGH. rBGH is short for Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, which is used to help cows to produce milk in much larger quantities. However, research has shown that milk from rBGH treated cows might lead to some types of cancer in human milk drinkers.
• Have grazed on land where chemical pesticides may have been used. Zahm and Ward from National Cancer Institute, USA had in 1998 reported that reducing or eliminating pesticide exposure will help to prevent some childhood cancers.

Organic Milk

Do not have what was mentioned for ordinary milk. In addition, organic milk are comes from cows that are fed on 100% certified organic feed for at least a year before the milk was produced.

So, which one would you choose? I believe the answer is obvious, right?

After all, health is wealth and don’t all mothers want their children to have something good in order to have a better body and mind!
